Tupistra squalida
Placement status: name or taxon excluded (unspecific)
Notes
The provenance of this species, the type of the genus, was given as 'Amboyna'. This is certainly erroneous. It was described from a cultivated plant in the nurseries of Loddiges, and was obviously in the former century cultivated in several botanic gardens. The more curious it is that its proper identity and native country remains more or less uncertain.
Baker l.c. reduced T. nutans Wall. (Bot. Reg. t. 1333) from India to this species, but Hooker f. kept these two entities apart.
